Meeting with an unhappy ending or outcome is the meaning of the adjective 'tragic'. There are many examples of 'tragic' endings or outcomes in 'Oedipus Rex'. For example,Theban King Laius loses his life in a common street brawl over a crossroads right of way. Theban Queen Jocasta kills herself after learning that a dreadful prophecy comes true despite all her efforts to the contrary. Theban King Oedipus loses his sight, his reputation, his job, and his home with the news of the carrying out of that same prophecy. And Oedipus' and Jocasta's four children face the stigma of being the progeny of a murderer and a sex offender.The main reason of course...hence Oedipus Complex(which means a son having carnal feelings for his own mother), is that not knowingly, he fell in love with, married and had children with his own Mother.

Why is Oedipus more tragic than Jocasta in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he lives on to suffer earthly punishment whereas Jocasta kills herself before any suffering can be experienced is the reason why Oedipus is more tragic than Jocasta in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta ascertains that the prophecy of Oedipus as his father's killer and his mother's husband is true to the very last horrifying detail. She goes off and hangs herself before she can be punished for attempted child killing or for repeated incest. In contrast, Oedipus must face the cruelties and stresses of his punishment as a blind exile each day that he completes as convicted murderer and sex offender.
